Ding dong, Ding dong,
where's the preacher man?
he's got work to do,
Goodbye boys, I'm through.
Ding dong, Ding dong,
Hear those wedding chimes.
Me, oh, my,
step aside,
here comes the bride!

I want to ring bells,
I want to blow whistles!
baby whispered: "Yes"
and I'll confess
that's why I want to ring bells!
I want to make noise,
I want to break windows!
Baby started this with her sweet kiss,
that's why I want to make noise!
I had my palm read by a Gipsy,
my future looks bright,
We'll settle down some where,
look us up some rainy night.
Come on with those bells,
I want to go marching!
Oh, the fam'ly tree depends on me,
that's why I want to ring bells!

I want to ring bells,
I want to blow whistles!
I've rehearsed my cue to say "I do"
that's why I want to ring bells!
I want to run wild,
I want to yell "Whoopee!"
Baby said O.K.
now we're that way,
that's why I want to ring bells!
I've got my eye on an apartment
high on the top floor,
We'll fix the apartment
at the five and ten cent store.
Come on with those bells
I want to go marching!
In a full dress suit,
won't I look cute?
That's why I want to ring bells!

Ding dong, Ding dong,
what a paradise,
Life that day will bring.
Mustn't lose the ring:
Ding dong, Ding dong,
come on, honeymoon,
May or June,
it won't be a day too soon.

I want to ring bells,
I want to blow whistles!
baby whispered: "Yes"
and I'll confess
that's why I want to ring bells!
I want to make noise,
I want to break windows!
Baby started this with her sweet kiss,
that's why I want to make noise!
I had my palm read by a Gipsy,
my future looks bright,
We'll settle down some where,
look us up some rainy night.
Come on with those bells,
I want to go marching!
Oh, the fam'ly tree depends on me,
that's why I want to ring bells!

I want to ring bells,
I want to blow whistles!
I've rehearsed my cue to say "I do"
that's why I want to ring bells!
I want to run wild,
I want to yell "Whoopee!"
Baby said O.K.
now we're that way,
that's why I want to ring bells!
I've got my eye on an apartment
high on the top floor,
We'll fix the apartment
at the five and ten cent store.
Come on with those bells
I want to go marching!
In a full dress suit,
won't I look cute?
That's why I want to ring bells!
